Tiger Woods' private plane was seen at the Augusta airport, which fuels the speculation he will play in the Masters Tournament.

The reported sight of Tiger Woods' private plane in Georgia has sparked fresh speculation the 14-time major winner will tee off at The Masters.

Woods' Gulfstream G5 was spotted at Augusta Regional Airport, The Augusta Chronicle reported.

Woods has not played in a PGA Tour event since he exited the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines after 11 holes in early February, with a persistent back ailment curbing his season.

He missed the next two events - the Honda Classic at PGA National and the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, but expressed his wish to play in The Masters.

Woods missed the 2014 Masters after undergoing back surgery the week prior. It was the first time he missed the event in 20 years.

Four-time Masters champion Woods sits at 104th in the world golf rankings - his lowest position since his maiden PGA Tour victory at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational.
